Unlike cold New York
you smile, take in all comers
with your midwest charm.

Pulling apart a
life together, the future
frays like a cut edge.

It happens over
coffee, one stunned, the other
already elsewhere.

for S.

Without a ring she’s
uncertain, the baby no
guarantee he’ll stay.

“I’m telling you but
don’t worry, I’m fine,” she says.
I listen, but do.

Post-audition, she
was mobbed with requests, star-to-

I wish I could be.

Taken by cell phone,
he grins shyly, she glows as
if her prince has come.

new employee glee.

In wordless despair
M dissolves in tears clutching
me like a life vest.

An adult blankie.
To take one from its owner
will make grown men cry.
